OMG I’m so sorry and I’m so glad you’re safe! My neighbor’s tree, that we had told the landlord repeatedly needed to go, also fell on my house, but fortunately there was no major damage. And he did send someone out to take care of it immediately. Fuck Irma, and your neighbor.

Yeah I love it when he uses my head as a springboard.

I am so sorry this isn’t a project you’re getting to do at your choice of timing. Do you have insurance to help you out? It looks like a daunting task for sure.

just like roaches:

I had to put my best good Gus friend to sleep this morning. I had him for 11 years. He had end stage kidney disease. He made it much longer than the vet expected. There was a dramatic decline in the last couple of days and he was in pain.

Big Foot has a scheduled review this coming Thursday. Our hope is that we can discuss her graduating the program and focusing on school work because there really is very little else that she is going to get here. She is falling farther and farther behind in school because every day she is so busy trying to make a dent…

We had one male jezzie who used to troll the SNS threads and talk about how his daughter had “electra” syndrome and wanted to fuck him. It took I believe Jinni calling him out for him to stop posting his fantasies all over SNS. Funny thing is though, people just forgot that he did that, and he comments to this day. I…

Excellent idea. Mr. Duck sounds like a goddamn winner.

My cat had surgery the other day and I was finally able to bring her home today and she’s just not doing well. The vet says it’s all to be expected but it still breaks my heart to watch her be in so much pain. I’m also trying to write a 10 page paper for grad school that’s due in a couple days that I, of course,…

Ya’ll, I’m having a little bit of career angst right now. Long story short, I’m a fourth-year postdoc (I got my Ph.D. in neuroscience in 2014) with a grant that ends in 10 months. My bosses (both PIs) are applying for grants in order to keep me on, and I am applying for faculty positions and I have an interview with a…

Ugh. Well, a follow-up to the thread I started last week.

Mom needs a bunch of tests, because her doctor picked up a murmur.

My mother is visiting me and my self esteem is tanking since she feels the need to constantly compare herself to me to make herself feel better.

I needed these past few days! I’ve been so stressed about finding a job, my car, money etc. To the point that my blood pressure was reading as pre-hypertension! But the past two days with friends was exactly what I needed!

This week has been pretty awful. Spent Tuesday in a Kaiser urgent care for what I thought was a wrenched neck. It kept getting worse and now I’m waking up in horrible pain every morning and then spending my day loaded on high dose naproxen and muscle relaxants (while still going to work- so I have to drive there…

I had to rush my 21 1/2 year old cat to the vet because I saw blood on her vulva and she was acting strange. $300 later and the vet thinks it’s cystitis. She’s got meds, fluids, antibiotics, and anti-nausea medication. I’m home having a wine now.

A thread last night ended up turning into a long conversation about the men commenters of Jez. And without being quite sure what to say or how to say it, and definitely without meaning to speak for anyone else, here goes:

I posted last week in SNS about my kid finally getting gender confirmation surgery. Well, the day before surgery my kid got sick and at pre-op, they decided to postpone surgery. So back home driving SF to Seattle with a sick kid, and we rescheduled for the next available date, 2.5 weeks from now. Luckily the Air BnB…

Hi all! I created this burner to shamelessly brag about my personal life. It might get buried in the greys— oh well!

Busy watching Trainspotting 2 again. Such a masterclass of wit and emotional depth combined with a wonderful cast.
